About false positives and antivirus warnings

[cobian]

Every now and then some new release may trigger a malwere warning for some antivirus program. That is normal. I don't compile in a deterministic form, so sometimes the compiled code may result in a pattern that may trigger some existing combination in their malware list.-

What you can do:

1- Almost any SERIOUS antivirus vendor has a page where you can submit false positives. Do it and wait for a definition update from them.

2- You can also run the file into Virus total https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload to see how all antivirus rate the file. In the case of 2.7.10 four of 71 vendor are detecting some foul pattern. All the big ones (the ones you should trust) are giving the code an OK.

3- Wait for the next release. Re-compiling the code will almost sure result in a "clean" code.

4- Don't run the code if you don't trust it.

Thank you.
